This service provides map search. To improve the service and serve ads, we process the following, minimally.
- Search queries — The place, coordinate, or MAPCODE queries you enter (service improvement and statistics).
- Approximate location — Only if you have already granted your browser's location permission, used to improve search relevance. We never store or transmit precise coordinates — we derive a single flag: whether you are in Japan or not.
- IP address — For abuse / crawl detection. There is no login, so we do not identify individuals.
- Usage statistics — Aggregated, pseudonymous usage statistics via Google Analytics (GA4).
- Advertising — Google AdSense. Ad-personalization consent follows Google's certified consent management (CMP).
